I enjoyed reading this, but I don't really have much to say about it. There are quite a few funny scenes, and I agree with the idea that fame for its own sake is pointless. The religious aspects don't really go anywhere, so this would have worked equally well with Mr Mxyzptlk (from Superman) or The Great Gazoo (from The Flintstones); if you want to read a better exploration of a similar religious idea, I strongly recommend Mike Carey's Lucifer series.

When this was published, it was significant for being TPB length without being printed in monthly installments first. Some people wondered whether this was the shape of things to come, to counter the "wait for the trade" mentality amongst comic readers. There have been a few similar projects since then, e.g. Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall, but it's still fairly unusual.
